Coach Talk

Josh gordon a b!tch
Hey, now that's what we love to see! A completion percentage of 83 percent for Cam Newton this past week. Quality and quantity! That Seahawks defense didn't know what hit 'em! In what wound up being a ridiculously tight matchup, the GM of Josh gordon a b!tch has got to be grateful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
Buckley
Generally, a single missed field goal isn't any reason to worry, but talk about impeccable timing: Adam Vinatieri goes 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Buckley loses the matchup by 0.18 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
